I was thinking I could make a console application that would have a FileSystemWatcher - watching for a .BAT file being created in a folder - and when it sees that file it does a PROCESS.START on it.

I was thinking I could make a console application that would have a FileSystemWatcher - watching for a .BAT file being created in a folder - and when it sees that file it does a PROCESS.START on it. But I'm seeing that a console app doesn't continue running.
Imports System.IO
Module awcWatcher

Dim fsw As New FileSystemWatcher("D:ACS DesktopAWCeportingstaging")
fsw.NotifyFilter = NotifyFilters.FileName Or NotifyFilters.LastWrite

View 3 RepliesI am new to Visual Basic and i started to write a console application. I it working fine by now, but I tried to execute a command like shutdown -s
I tried that by writing console.writeline("shutdown -s")

I have a console application and I have figured out how to type in the command window with Console.WriteLine() but i need to run a command (ex. net user) then wait for a response and type another command, for some reason I cant figure out how to type the command and automatically press enter without closing the window. I tried Console.WriteLine("net user") but all it does is write "net user" in the command window so I used My.Computer.Keyboard.SendKeys("{ENTER}", True) after Console.Writeline and it just wrote "net user" then exited the window. Is there any way to run a command through a console application? if so how would i do this?
View 6 RepliesI have a console application that is ready to be used as a windows service, I have been looking around for a couple of hours and tried many of the tutorials out there but none of them worked with me.
The closest one was: [URL] but it didn't go into the process of doing it. I converted that code to VB.NET but then I don't know where to go from there. I have the Module1.vb which runs my console application all ready to be used.
show me a way to use my console application as a service, I tried using the InstallUtil feature but my app never showed under "services".

I'm writing a command-line application in .Net. The app itself is fairly simple, but it has to connect synchronously to a web-service, which in turn has to connect to a Oracle database, and those pieces are fond of taking their time.
Is there a straightforward way (without dividing my app exe in two) to continue executing but nonetheless yield execution to the command prompt?
It's Windows, so no "&". Also, I cannot use cmd.exe's "start" cmdlet.
Okay so basically I want to see if I can make an windows application or just a console application in VB.NET that will verify an MD5 Checksum. I have no idea how to start this out, but I have the ideas of what I'd like to make it.

View 2 RepliesI have a spellcheck program for an external application. My vb.net app calls a .vbs file to invoke the word spellcheck engine, runs the spellcheck, copies to MS clipboard and then I want it to automatically paste back into the active window. What my issue is, is that I need a delay or check of some sort in the code so that I can know when the vbscript has been completed before pasting text to to the window. I've tried the following but the app invokes the script then immediately checks to see if the script is running (which of course it is) so it's useless... Or is this something I should change/handle in the vbs file? I'm not very good with vbscript however.

I have a console application I'm using to run scheduled jobs through windows scheduler. All the communication to/from the application is in email, event logging, database logs. Is there any way I can suppress the console window from coming up?
View 5 RepliesIs there a simple way to have a code library automatically detect if it's being called from a console application or a windows application? I'd like my library not to report to the Windows Event log if it's being called from a console window, but instead report to the console window. If however, it's not being run from within a console window, it should report to the Windows Event Log.
I thought about requiring my the logging component to be passed the log target, but it would be neat if it could just automatically handle these two targets natively. I don't yet require something as extensive as log4net, indeed, if it becomes necessary to provide support to log to a database/file and other as yet unknown logging targets, then I may recommend such a solution. For now though, just having my component auto-detect the environment and log to the console or the event log according to the environment would be plenty.
say I have a library, in which I added a few Console.WriteLine(..) statements tot during the implementation and see w going on when I use the library in a Console AppNow I want to use the same library in an ASP.NET app. Ideally I would be able to log on to the production webserver, and somehow start a command prompt and attach it to the website and see the messages in real time as they occur. How do I do that?
View 2 RepliesI am currently working on an application, where I am using a console application, that will set up the application prior to the main form is run. This is no problem I've got that all working perfectly, the only problem I have is that the console is showing while the application is running, I was wondering whether anyone knows any way in which I would be able to hide the console before it gets shown to the user.
View 12 RepliesHow do I get the console from closing immediatley upon opening in a Console Application program? I have all of the code written but when I run the program it pops up the console window and then immediatley exits so I am unable to read what is in the window to see if my program is operating correctly. This is the first time I've ever used a console window so I don't know where in the code I would need to put "whatever it is" I might need to put to keep the window open until closed by the user.
View 7 RepliesIt sounds confusing but it's not really. What I need is basically a way to emulate the console style text, without using a console. What I'm really doing is trying to do a matrix effect on my form background, by drawing symbols and moving them, alternating their colors (see this video for what I mean).
Is there a way to do this effectively with a timer and a draw event, with the timer calling the draw event and changing the intervals?
I'm trying to run an app (GacUtil) which is normally run through a console window, directly in my winforms app, but I keep getting the error:
"The system cannot find the file specified"
Here is the
Dim AppName = "gacutil"
Dim BaseOptions = " /i"
Dim oStartInfo As New ProcessStartInfo
Dim sFull As String
Dim sStartPath As String = Path.GetDirectoryName(TextBox1.Text)
[Code] .....
In this case, the DLL is in C:, and 'GacUtil' has been added to the Environment path variable.
I can put a break point on the next to the last last line, copy and past the output of the 'sfull' variable into a command prompt and it will run perfectly. (I've tried adding oStartInfo.UseShellExecute=False, removing the whole workingDirectory property line and just changing sFull so that it has the Startpath also, but I still get the error)
However, when I try it in the Winforms app I'm creating, I get the error.
Process.Start(oStartInfo)

View 2 RepliesI have code that just runs and runs, and I'd like it to stop and take a rest. I want execution to wait for a mouse event and then continue. I can't just put the code to be executed after the event directly into the Click handler, because many different sections of code need to stop and wait for the event. I'd like the code to stop, wait for the Click event, then continue. I tried the test code below, but it pretty much hangs the program during the Do Until loop; I can't even press Button2. [Code]
